It is much too rare an occasion to have an undeveloped area in the busy city centre where new large-scale cultural investments may be realized. The Danish Royal Theatre was erected in downtown Copenhagen at the junction of Frederiksstaden \u2013 a district created back in the 18th century \u2013 and the harbour of the capital. Danish architects Boje Lundgaard and Lene Tranberg have made use of light and shadow as well as the dynamism of a variety of materials and surfaces to create a building in which the theatre itself appears as a mystical experience. Promenades above the water, transparent glass surfaces and a sculpturesque tower are the components defining the building itself: even though these components could hardly be more different from one another, they come to merge in a harmonious and whole unit. <\/p>\n
